Most likely it has lost its gas. If there is not enough pressure in the system, it will not operate.
How old is the car? You may get away with a top up, or you may have a leak in the system.

No. If there is not enough pressure in the system, it will not activate it.
My Mk 3 Mondeo had a leak due to a pipe to the compressor rubbing on part of the chassis, until it developed a hole.
When was the last time you used the aircon, as it is supposed to be used regularly (even in winter) to stop the seals drying out and cracking?
